Tintin and The Picaros





A dark tale of Vengeance and hostages on a background of guerilla, Tintin and the Picaros sees the return of Tintin in San Theodoros, the country of The Broken Ear. Hergé takes a sweet and sour stance with the intention to show That nothing in this world is anything but a big masquerade.

A note from Michael Farr "Tintin, dream and reality", saying that this war was known as the "oil war". The Gringos (Standard Oil Americaine) and other Western multinatioanales (Royal Dutch Shell) were the resource persons involved in this conflict. But the real reason for the war was drawing to Bolivia to strike a better passage in the river Paraguay. "Gran Chaco" Became Within the scope of Cray Herge "Gran Chapo"



The San Theodoros return to the one in "Tintin and the Picaros" even if only in caricature. But, here Herge was success to described the interference of commercial power drawn in the political affairs of third world countries.
